Subject: [Adil] Fwd: [jewsforjustice] INTERNATIONAL JEWISH RESPONSE TO
CRISIS IN PALESTINE
Saya anggap usaha menyampakan informasi begini akan menolong
membuka mata orang Islam Indonesia yang tolol-tolol,
dungu-dungu, bodoh-bodoh dan goblok-goblok itu bahwa Yahudi itu
tidak sinonim dengan zionisme.
Memang mereka sendiri sebenarnya, sebelum buka bacot tentang
Yahudi dan Palestina, kudu baca dulu informasi begini, tapi ya
karena orang Islam itu per definisi pemalas mencari informasi
sendiri, maka terpulang kepada orang lain juga untuk menutup
bacot mereka dengan informasi begini.
